#1 Sanath Jayasuriya

Sanath Jayasuriya

Sri Lankan maestro Sanath Jayasuriya is undoubtedly Sri Lanka's best find till now. The southpaw had changed the batsman's perception of hitting in the early overs of the innings. He has given some unforgettable memories to his fans including some devastating knocks in the 1997 Test series against India, where he completely destroyed the Indian attack.

It was the same series when Sri Lanka scored a mammoth 952 runs in an innings. Jayasuriya's explosive show of 340 runs made it possible for the hosts to achieve this landmark. The all-rounder made good use of his terrific form and went on to score 199 in the 2nd Test. Both the games ended in a draw but it was Jayasuriya who became the showstopper.

Here are Jayasuriya's stats of 1997 Indo-Lanka Test series held in Sri Lanka:

Matches - 2

Innings- 3

Runs - 571

Highest - 340

Average - 190.33

100 - 2

50 - 0

The ongoing Test series between India and Sri Lanka could create some more memories in the minds of millions, especially after watching some excellent stuff from Shikhar Dhawan and Cheteshwar Pujara.
